Would be great if controls worked Extremely frustrating game experience. Obviously a quality game, but the iPhone controls are absolutely terrible. The controls are sluggish and nonresponsive, making the game almost impossible to enjoy. This is a game I wanted to like, but but the play is so frustrating, I very much regret buying it. I am very glad I bought this on sale for $0.99. Not worth full price.

Turn ON smooth camera optionThe game suggests turning off the smooth camera option for better control and has this set as the default. It couldn't be anymore incorrect. If your having control issues turn it ON and Otto will control much more accurately.
I first played Pangea's bugdom 2 and loved it, so I had to get Pangea's Otto matic and deemed the game garbage due to the impossible controls and wished the dpad controlled ad well as bugdom 2. Turns out the camera option was the culprit. Pangea really needs to fix this or set it at default if they want to stop getting 1 star ratings, because with the smooth camera option on, the game is actually controllable and lots of people will not think to check this option.
Otherwise it is a really fun game and pretty original. Pangea is one of the top iPhone devs and it shows.

Potential for a cool game... BUT...It's a great game. Fun premise, clever, good humor, challenging, lots to do... BUT... the movement controls make it nearly impossible to play. Rarely able to get it to move in the direction you want to go, views will change while trying to move almost it seems on a whim, and if you're in a tight space you're essentially stuck, which is not a good thing to happen in a combat game. Very frustrating and it becomes not a lot of fun because of it real quick. For the game itself I give 5 stars, but -3 stars for the poor movement controls.
